NVIDIA Vera SMT Performance Benchmarks

Recently I was provided remote access to a NVIDIA Vera server with the dual socket Vera CPU Superchip providing 176 Olympus cores plus with NVIDIA's Spatial Multithreading "SMT" implementation providing 352 total threads. With this benchmarking was free rein for testing, including CPU power and frequency monitoring. Over the next few weeks will be a number of articles looking at different areas of NVIDIA Vera performance. One of the areas I was most eager to test was looking at Vera's Spatial Multithreading. Here is a first look at the impact of NVIDIA Vera SMT.
